Incentives for involvement


ABCD and Community Organizing/Engagement

Hey Chris, this is a very good question and I'd really like to find an answer as well. I have a similar challenge in that I work with residents in public housing. I coordinate meetings and public forums and very few show up, sometimes none at all?!?! I sometimes offer a light dinner or refreshments and that brings a handful of residents out? I facilitated a few focus groups this year and theincentive were $25food cards. I did have a good turn out. Unfortunately these were one time offers. I understand your question was geared more toward ideas that can help with sustained involvement.Can someone help the both of us? I beleive Mr. Dwyer-Vossoffered great advice.

Excellent tips. In working and living in the community I can definitely relate to how some of the incentives in your reply would encourage participation and possibly sustained involvement. I will most certainly incorporate some of them into my outreach plan.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
